The increase in the number of earthquakes and in the temperature of the hot springs that occurred between 1995 and 1997 on the islands of Saba and St. Eustatius, located in the Northern Lesser Antilles, was more than a mere fluke in subterranean activity: a mild volcano-seismic crisis had produced an increased heat flow.

This book investigates this correlation and other geologic activity of the active volcanoes in the Northern Lesser Antilles. A well-researched document of the volcanoes on these two highly populated islands, the book also features five detailed maps of the region and is an ideal accompaniment to the Netherlands Geological Survey’s geohazard report, which recommends the initiation of routine monitoring of both islands.
